I have been trying to access a web page that has been updated.  When I type in the IP address, the older version of the web page shows up on my computer.  I have accessed the page from other computers, so I know that the problem lies in mine.  

I'm running Internet Explorer version 6.0.2800.1106.  I've tried deleting temporary internet files, but still can't get the newer version to load.

Any advice?

Clear your cookies and delete your history.  Go to your Tools pulldown, click Internet Options, then click Delete Cookies then Delete Files, then click on the Clear History.  

That should do it.

If you're using Internet Explorer, hit CTRL and F5 to force a refresh.

actually ctrl is not needed just press f5
this merely accomplishes the same things as hitting the refresh button in your browser.

Actually, you're talking out of your ass.

F5 or CTRL+R or hitting the Refresh button will refresh the current Web page only if the time stamp for the Web version and your locally stored version are different.

CTRL+F5 will refresh the current Web page, even if the time stamp for the Web version and your locally stored version are the same, i.e. force a refresh.

Clearing Cookies and Temporary Internet Files didn't do it.

F5 didn't do it.

CTRL + F5 worked like a charm.

Thanks.

At least no-one advised me to "Use ALT + F4 to go to the secret chat room".
